Duncan's traveling anxiety
Duncan has been traveling since he was 12 weeks old. He's been fine because he had his older brother. Since Blue has passed, Duncan doesn't like to travel as much.
He jumps in the car willingly but will not stay in the back seat. He always tries to climb in my lap. Then when we leave him in the car he screams bloody murder! Even if only one of us leaves for a moment. We've tried using treats to divert his attention and some of the techniques used by Cesar Milan, but nothing is working.
We have to get this stopped, camping will be unbearable. Any suggestions? I guess short trips all over town will be in order along with positive reinforcement. At this point, it looks like separation anxiety...which seems to be worsening. It's not fun.
I've been looking for a booster seat but cannot find one big enough for him. He's a larger Cavalier (24 lbs). I think if he could see out, he would feel better.
If we leave him alone at home, he's fine. We video taped him and know that he just sleeps.
Other than this, he's perfect.
